Chapter 56 Huan Wen's Invitation

Unlike the grand funerals in later TV dramas, funerals are simplified in this era. Some people are even less than half a day after they die, and their bodies are trapped in peace... Wang Xizhi's lineage believes in the five-dove rice path, and there is also this tradition. All funerals are simple. Even some uncles from Wang from a distance just send letters to express their condolences, but they did not arrive in person.

After the master did the trick, he collected calligraphy and paintings, porcelain plays and other things that Wang Xuanzhi loved during his lifetime as a funeral. Only the people at home attended the funeral. One day and one night after Wang Xuanzhi's death, accompanied by an obituary written by Wang Xizhi, covering a coffin with soil. A young man completely disappeared from the long river of history. Perhaps his name will be left in the future, but his true character and affection will not be left in anyone's memory except those close to him.

Wang Ningzhi sighed and looked at the woman in the family crying in front of him. After all, the woman is much softer than a man, and the relatives are dead. Such sadness may last for a long time.

Xie Daoyuan, who was standing beside him, shook his hand and said, "I'll go and comfort my mother, sister-in-law and the others. Those outside still need the husband to deal with it."

"Okay, don't let your mother and the others be too sad. If your elder brother is still alive, I'm sure you can't bear to see them getting depressed because of this." In Wang Ningzhi's eyes, Xie Daoyun was undoubtedly young and was at most a high school student in later generations. But at some point, her eyes flashed over her resolute and majestic Danfeng eyes, and she felt that she was so mature and seemed to be able to tolerate everything like her mother.

After waking up at noon, he had been dealing with Wang Xuanzhi's funeral and putting all other things back. Now that the funeral has been dealt with, he cannot be as leisurely as others, and he still has to deal with things outside without stopping. However, he is not as chaotic as he is. After all, he has a lot of experience in dealing with such things.

Many people came outside, and many families with good friends all day long sent people to express their regret for Wang Xuanzhi's death. In addition, there were Yu Fu, Xi Chao and others, who were sitting idle in the courtyard. When he rushed over, many servants from the aristocratic families who had sent to deliver letters had already left, and only a few people were waiting for a special number of things.

Because Xi Daomao was not a child of the Wang family, he could not participate in the funeral, so he could only wait here. He was bored and teased the ants running around. He agreed to the words of his cousin Xi Chao next to him. Seeing Wang Ningzhi coming, he hurriedly threw the stalk away. He ignored Xi Chao's surprised gaze and limped to Wang Ningzhi: "Second brother..."

"Slow down, let alone crazy people don't look like a woman, aren't they still injured their legs?" Wang Ningzhi hurriedly helped Xi Daomao who wanted to fall, stroked her shoulder and pressed her right.

Xi Daomao's face turned red and hesitated, "I know my second brother is here, so I'm not worried about falling down. Those servants will not be as careful as my second brother."

"Someone feels sorry for you, and you can't do it at will. The family is fine. If you get married in the future, you will only overdraw the love of your husband's family." Wang Ningzhi casually taught a lesson, and did not care about the little girl's thoughts. Looking at Xi Chao who was walking towards him, nodded at him, saying, "Brother Jingxing, are you worried about Dao Maozhi's injury, come to visit?"

"This is just one reason. The big news that came to our ears last night really scared my uncle. I was worried about Dao Mao. I happened to be entrusted by Duke Huan to meet Shuping. My uncle asked me to visit Dao Mao." Unlike the famous scholars that Wang Ningzhi often saw, although Xi Chao also had a reputation for literary reputation, he was different from those who were interested in talking about Xuan and was not in the court. He heard that he had been with Huan Wen for a long time. He spoke a little bit, which was similar to the voice of Huan Wen that he heard on the wedding day. It was low but confident.

"Oh? Duke Huan is looking for me?" Wang Ningzhi narrowed his eyes and stared at Xi Chao in front of him. "But why did you offend Duke Huan? You actually asked Brother Jing Xing to sign and come to see me."

"Shuping and Duke Huan have not had any relationship on a daily basis, so how could there be any offense?" Xi Chao shook his head, his eyes fell on Yu Fu on the other side, and stopped for a while, and turned to Wang Ningzhi. "It seems that Shuping still has many things to deal with, so I will tell you a long story short... Judging from Shuping's current virtue, talent, and character, it is both excellent, and it is easy to be an official, so what Duke Huan asked me to convey to Shuping on his behalf was that I don't know Shuping, but did he mean to go to Duke Huan to do things?"

Huan Wen's name made Wang Ningzhi hesitate. This famous name had to be carefully considered. When he first came to this era, he had thought about the next thing, either being a famous scholar or becoming a general or a prime minister. He had just come here and was hit by some things in his previous life, which made him a little decadent. He just hoped to be a young man lazy to be a noble family. Now it seems a bit difficult. He didn't know what the consequences would be caused by the remarks, thoughts, etc. of later generations brought by him. But in front of him, when Wang Xuan died, all the big and small things in his family would have to be managed by him, and he was unintentionally dealt with. Judging from his own situation in his generation, he was the only one who was an adult man, the responsibility would be taken by him.

In other words, it is unlikely that you will be free next.

He thought for a long time, but Xi Chao on the opposite side had no intention of disturbing him. He waited quietly, with no impatience on his face. Instead, Xi Daomao on the side was not interested in these things. After a while, he was really bored and had to squat down to tease the ants.

Finally, Wang Ningzhi shook his head, glanced over the high treetops, looked at the distant sky, watched the white clouds slowly moving, and smiled: "It is really exciting to be appreciated by Duke Huan, but I am used to being lazy, and I am afraid I am not adapted to going there rashly. Now that my eldest brother is going, my family needs me, I am afraid that it will only disappoint Duke Huan."

"Are you sure?" Xi Chao asked casually, and seeing Wang Ningzhi nodding, he smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect that I was really guessed by Duke Huan. Shuping, you will indeed refuse. However, in Duke Huan's words, it is because you are Wang Shuping that rejection is natural, but the door is still open to you at all times... Okay, since the mission that came this time has been completed, I won't delay much and go back."

Wang Ningzhi called the servant to send Xi Chao away, and watched his figure disappear from his sight. After a while, he smiled at Xi Daomao's attention: "Your cousin is also a wonderful person. If you are a colleague in the future, it would be interesting to get along with each other."

Xi Daomao patted his two little hands stained with dust, and curled his mouth, looking displeased: "He is very boring, second brother, don't learn from him."
